On June 23, 1915, Bruno Haas made his debut for Connie Mack’s Philadelphia A’s against the Yankees, and it quickly turned historic for all the wrong reasons. Haas issued 16 walks — a single-game record that has been matched only once since — and also uncorked three wild pitches. The outing helped send the A’s to a 15–7 loss in a game filled with chaos on the field. Despite his raw promise, Haas would appear in only five more major league games.
